It is hard to believe that we are already in February, and things are going to be getting busy for the CA in the coming weeks. Just a reminder that all CA meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month online, please see our website and Facebook pages for the links. Everyone is welcome to attend to meet the group of dedicated volunteers that help with community gardens, Parade of Lights, Stampede Breakfast, and YYC cleanup.
The development permit has been started for the Shade Structure, and all is progressing well. We are excited to see us break ground this spring. We can see how the change of use on the site with it will mean a variety of opportunities: outdoor classrooms for the schools, family potluck dinner nights, concerts in the park, and other outdoor events. We were also excited to receive the CFEP grant that will help us build this structure/update amenities at the site.
Our wonderful Newsletter Director Cristina R. is coming up with some options for the recipe of the month going into the future. We can only grow as an organization by continuing to think, “What more we can be doing for our community?â€
We have been approached by another local group as they want to develop their leadership skills by helping with planning the Green Space Cleanup. Currently we are looking to hold a joint project for May 31, 2026. More details to come as they are confirmed.
We have started to put together a full list of events for the upcoming year but will have to take into consideration the Shade Structure build at the same time. We would love to have other community residents’ input on future events they would like to see.
We have also started to pull together the community gardens for the upcoming year. If you are interested in a spot for this year, please email [email protected] and we will add you to the list.
The Community Kitchen Good Food Box program has advised us that they will be implementing a $5 per box increase for 2026. All past customers will be required to complete the form for us to have a record of accepting the new pricing. This will be posted on the ABCA website. You can get a small box (approximately 20 to 25lbs) for $35, medium (30 to 35lbs) for $40, or large (40 to 45lbs) for $45, delivered to Auburn Bay once a month. Please check out the post on our website for the Google form to place your order. The next one will be February 16 for February 27 delivery.
